I noticed this little building on the south side of Devine while I was taking pictures of Hardcore Tennis. Wedding invitations and stationery are things I have 1) never needed or 2) seldom needed, but apparently Jot Stationery Design Studio specializes in both.

With the New Year, they have moved to 3140 Carlisle Street, as described in this post from their blog. Apparently, before Jot moved in, this location was an optician, Devine Eyes, and an arts & crafts store, In The Loop.

UPDATE 1 February 2012: Added Manya, a women's clothing store, to the post title based on the comments and this.

In the Loop was a high end-ish yarn store. Their stuff was way better than what you find at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. They also had a sofa where you sit and work, and get advice on knitting problems. Not sure how well they did, business-wise, but I know that the owner had a baby and wanted to cut way back on her involvement. She sent out an email looking for a partner or buyer, but I guess that didn't pan out.

I was just in Devine Eyes a month ago for an exam and picking up my contacts -- they are still on Deveine Street unless they have moved within the last month - maybe now it is a different location on Devine than the one referred to above.
